..would you like some solids with that?..

dear finn,

last week at your doctor's appointment, dr. reese said we could start feeding you solids if we wanted to. at first i was a little hesitant, because a baby who eats solids seems so much older than a baby who only drinks his momma's milk. ;) and it makes me sad that my baby is growing up so fast. but i was also really curious to see how, and if, you'd like solid food. you are just so easy going and seem to like most things, and i wanted to see if that would hold true in this case as well.

so while i was at the store the other day (8/15) i decided to buy you a jar of sweet potatoes! dr. reese said to feed you your solids for breakfast and then either at dinner, or right before bed. well we missed breakfast, so i decided to give it to you right before you went to bed for the night. we had some friends over for dinner, and i knew they would all love watching your faces as you tried solid food for the first time! i gotta say mr, you didn't disappoint! you made the funniest little faces i have ever seen when that food first touched your tongue. i don't think you liked it at all! haha we only fed you a couple tiny little spoons full and called it good for the night, and we haven't given you any since! i think we'll wait another month or so before trying it again. :)
love you dude.

love,
mom
